One Healthy Village

School Wide Classroom Fitness Challenge!

The One Healthy Village committee has come up with a quick and easy 30 day challenge for your class, and we are hoping this is a school-wide activity. This will promote and increase awareness about regular exercise to improve/maintain fitness, and will teach students about different quick and easy exercise ideas to do at home and in the classroom.

This calendar can be implemented as a daily (or just a few times a week) classroom fitness break, along with students participating at home.

What:

·         Each class will get a class calendar, filled with daily activities to try for one month.  Track how many days you were able to complete.

·         Turn in your class calendar OR just how many days you were able to complete, at the end of the month to your committee member by grade:   Grades K-1 will turn in info to Kim Bellnier, Grade 2 will give info to Michele Farrell, grade 3 to Kim DiGiacco, grade 4 to Joe Kuhn, and grades 5-6 will turn in info to Shannon Ingles or Pam Stadtmiller.

·         We will determine the class from EACH grade level that had the highest number of days completed during class that month.    The classroom with the highest number of days completed from each grade level will be the “Fitness Fanatics” for that month.  Winners will be announced, AND the class will receive an extra game day/free time in the gym!  If the event of a tie, we will draw names out of a box. Winning classes will also have their picture taken and displayed in the hall.

·         If there is an exercise or activity listed on the calendar that you do not understand, feel free to email or ask us to explain.  Feel free to modify or substitute any activity.

·         Also, feel free to print out copies for each student to take home and encourage them, or mom/dad, to initial or check off days completed. We will talk it up in PE classes as well, and have extra copies for kids.  Maybe hang the returned calendars out in the hallway next month for recognition???  Up to you!
